Living Whole in Him (Father, Son, Spirit)

·37 min·3 clips

A gas station attendant recognized Pastor Harris after 10 years because he looked just like his father, sparking a lesson on God's image.

Pastor Heath Harris begins the sermon by welcoming listeners to Sanctuary in Jena, Louisiana, and introducing the topic of living whole in God. He shares a personal anecdote from his youth: at age 17, driving back to Louisiana after a decade away, he was recognized at a gas station by a woman who knew his father from school in the 1970s. This story illustrates the difference between bearing someone's image and having their identity or intimacy. Harris connects this to humanity's relationship with God, noting that people are fallen and often don't know who they are, leading to societal confusion and personal struggles. He references 2 Peter 1:3, emphasizing that God has given everything needed for life and godliness through knowledge of Him. Harris explains that humans are made in God's image, with three parts: physical body (muchness), mental heart/mind, and eternal spirit, mirroring the Trinity. He discusses how God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Spirit, using examples from Genesis, Daniel, and Luke 3. The sermon highlights the Father as beyond and near, the Son as before and with humanity, and the Spirit as within for intimacy and power. Harris challenges listeners to assess their wholeness in these areas, addressing common issues like doubt, lack of direction, and intimacy struggles. He concludes with an invitation for salvation and deeper relationship, urging belief and reception of God's promises.
